My cousin Dave got me started in working out. He showed me the basic workouts for major muscles like chest, back etc just to get me started. lifting helped me do well in crew(rowing team) my 1st year and has given me self esteem. my cousin dave ended up giveing his bench and weight set to my other cousin richie. Richie and i started working out together daily. i didn't get really into it until the end of my sophmore year. that summer from sophmore to junior year i gained about 25 pounds weighing 160!
Why I Love It:
I love bodybuilding for the sense of power i get. watching week after week of body transformations and getting stronger is just a great feeling that i never want to stop.the change. The confidence i get walking down the hall or street knowing others are looking.
How I Stay Motivated:
i was 5 foot 9 and weight 135! some people thought i was anorexic (spell that right?) that gave me huge motivation to say the least for working out.i was also teased a bit in school.6th to 8th grade for being a lil on the heavy side. and freshman to sophmore year for being too skinny.i could never win.I was never the best at anything. if it came to basketball to running i would always be good but never number 1. my junior year i did the most reps for a bench press competition in school. its a small win but it meant alot. this year i plan on winning the senior competition and being the strongest senior in my school so i can finally be number 1. Looking at other guys who are bigger and stronger is also a big motivation for bodybuilding.The girls who are into muscles is a huge motivation.I AM MR. KEARNY!..I JUST Won my school's bench press competition!..may 23 2008!
BB Accomplishments:
gaining 65 pounds in about 3 years....and winning recently in june the senior bench press competition!!..
i've been doing this workout my cousin told me for about 2 months and have seen pretty good strength gains.it's more of a size strength workout, not at all for cuts. He called it the 5 for 5 program.
